Some metal bands get very bad with time, wether because they lack inspiration or just know how to make money with the same formula, except we're not stupid and we can realize that (this is called "sellout", for those of you who didn't know).

Then, for your mental health or simply because you dont want the band's grand legacy corrupted any further, you wish it would split apart and leave a good memory...

If you had the power to disband ONE band in the world (known it's not ours to decide that...), which one would it be?

You two should really consider laying off that ganja. Maybe that way you'll increase your chances to learn discerning some musical quality?

So we have a person who has a musical education background here? I don't know if you've studied in a music school nor taken any courses about solfège or music theory and history but I, for instance, have...

And I cannot say by no means that Nightwish's music has had any significant damage in quality...

Now define what musical quality means for you and mayb everyone will understand you better. So far, please quit asking people to "learn about musical quality" unless you've explained what you mean by saying this anyway...

Thank you.

@ Hobbit Viggo : Hail the last post you wrote !
@ Thor 26 : that thing what you wrote "quality"is relative thing in common perspective....For common listener it is good or bad for musicians is very good,but quality of something should not depend of tastes....Although I agree with you ,I must say this :
#1Nightwish did created quality music over the years
#2But that was not the sound that I like anymore...

Sonic Syndicate for sure... Eden Fire was and still is a great album but everything after has just progrssively gotten worse. Burn this city is a total disgrace and a perfect example of a sell out

Iron Maiden.

At least don't make any new albums any more. Touring is still fine. Let's be honest do you really want any of their latest songs over their classics? Every recent album is getting less and less. They should stop now to save themselves the embarrassment.

Wintersun.

This band is getting more and more a joke. They're basically the "Duke Nukem Forever" of metal. Not to mention the most obnoxious obsessive fans ever. When this band dies they finally can do something with their lives and find better music.

Agreed on both bands.

By the way, we are three now to think Iron Maiden should stop releasing albums: you, Doc Godin and me.

"Nightwish don't need to rethink anything, because Tarja didn't write anything. She made no music, no lyrics, no anything. She sang only and to be frank, since she didn't use her opera voice on the last two albums, she might as well have handed the mic over to Marco, who's always been superior right after Wishmaster." - ErnilEnNaur


"?But anyways, Nightwish disbanding would break my heart...and like you said, Tarja leaving didn't really change them much anyways. I'm fine with Anette and Marco. - Grimm

Tarja didn't write any music, that's the point. There's no attack there, it's the truth.

I think Metallica is the obvious choice. I can't listen to Hetfield sing anymore. The black album was fine but after that his voice has become so bad I wouldn't want it to ruin classic songs if I ever saw them live. Time for them to fall into legend and then come out of retirement and do a reunion tour for $350 a ticket.

Sirenia: I heard a song from the latest album and it was terrible, the production was awful and the guitars were mostly inaudible. Even their previous album with Ailyn sounded more decent than TEoL. They're pretty much a joke these days, anyway. :/

Well I am another one who totally agrees on Maiden not recording any more butjust sticking to touring with the classic songs.

Bleh, fuck all of ya who say Maiden should break up-The Final Fronteir was a fine album-Not as good as their 80's work, but pretty damn good regardless. As far as a band that should break up, Cryptopy is the only one I can think of that I'd like to see gone, for obvious reasons.

I wouldn't want them to disband, just find a better vocalist and focus on writing songs that are more brutal and original.

I was thinking about that the other day. With all the bridge-burning they pulled, I'm really curious as to what they're going to do next. I mean it was one thing to flip their style so drastically, but then piss all over the fans that called them on it. There's no way Flo isn't feeling that backlash.

Lacuna Coil

The chick is too hot to quit.

Have you heard their last album? The way they are headed they will be top 40 radio material in no time.

The obvious choices are Metallica and Maiden...Dance of Death was the last album from Maiden that I could enjoy, and that is more than a lot of fans can say. It is hard to ignore the bad music and appreciate the good...especially with Metallica. It was so good...but they ruined it...and the fact that they even tried to make a comeback with Death Magnetic was a huge joke, less ridiculous only than the album itself. I don't understand how anyone can see that as an actual comeback. All they did was listen to what the fans wanted to hear, and miserably fail at doing a good job of it.

Maiden at least can put on a good show still...Metallica have long since dropped the ball completely and utterly.

Arch Enemy is another one...their albums with Leva and I guess their first two with Gossow were all wicked, but now they are just pandering to the masses. Milking the frontwoman thing and just being total sellouts in general.

I'd go with Nightwish. They stopped making good songs a long time ago, and now that Tarja's gone that new chick's voice is nothing compared to hers and it sounds to me like it doesn't go well with the instrumental.
Arch Enemy is another band I can't stand anymore. They're a mediocre band, but what pisses me off is that they are commercialized only because they have a female vocalist that sings like a man. Big deal. Hmmm... Maybe it's just because I don't like female vocalists... They don't go well with metal.
Oh and just imagine what the fans would do if Metallica or Maiden would disband... Mass suicide They might not be as good as they were once but still I hope they will come with something great.

Well, they were able to do great, and by that I mean really GREAT stuff and whatever they do they'll still be metal legends so... I can at least hope, right?

Am I the only one in this world who thinks Maiden and Metallica, as well as Megadeth and other "legends" are incredibly overrated??? Yes, they led the way in their time, but they've been out-talented a looong time ago. "GREAT stuff"? Pfff... "Good metal" would be more accurate.
